TBS orders Season 5 of sitcom 'Cougar Town'

LOS ANGELES, March 26 (UPI) -- TBS announced Tuesday it has ordered a 13-episode fifth season of "Cougar Town," the Florida-set sitcom starring Courteney Cox, to air next year.

"'Cougar Town' has been everything we hoped it would be: a smart, big-hearted, laugh-out-loud comedy that shines a bright light on the TBS brand," Michael Wright -- president and head of programming for TBS, TNT and Turner Classic Movies -- said in a statement. "This season, the brilliant cast and immensely creative production team on 'Cougar Town' have crafted their best episodes yet, and we couldn't be happier inviting them back for more."
